The RBS Bank on Deansgate disappears when you take a photo of it, acting merely as a mirror for far nobler buildings such as, in this case, Eliot House. That made it even more galling for me when I was taken to task by an RBS jobsworth after taking this photo.
An employee wandered out to say I wasn't allowed to take photos of the bank. This is also rather ironic when it was us- the taxpayers - who bailed the RBS Bank out when they went under the other year (not that the Blair-Brown government gave us a choice, and protest we did). Anyway, we now own RBS. So I should be allowed to take a photo of something I part own.
I asked why I could not take a photo but the man merely answered "Because you are not allowed to". I asked for a slightly more detailed explanation, and also who I could email to ask why this was so, and what policy stated this.
I got nowhere of course but now delight in taking photos every time I pass. Maybe my fellow Mancunians and Salfordians would like to do so too? Let me know how you get on...
Nice shot. The hassle was worth it. Don't let it bother you.

ReplyDeleteThis is the first time that I hear it isn't allowed to take photo's of a bank. I really wonder why, and i guess the employer didn't know exactly either.
